This episode of the NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted Scholarship track features Amanda Cornine. The discussion centers on Dr. Cornine's research on the facilitators and inhibitors of LPN-to-RN student transition, highlighting the importance of faculty support and the challenges faced by LPNs entering RN programs midway. The study found that emotional and academic support from faculty, as well as recognition of prior LPN experience, were less commonly reported facilitators. Dr. Cornine suggests that educators should be more intentional in integrating LPN-to-RN students into existing cohorts and providing opportunities for interaction and support. The episode emphasizes the need for evidence-based interventions to support LPN-to-RN students and enhance their transition experience.
